1 OMINTION DESIGNS ndersen windows and patio doors make it easy to create a wide variety of combination designs. ombination Types Ribbon ombinations Ribbons are horizontal window combinations (vertical joins) where opposite ends (head and sill) of individual windows are fastened to the building structure. Stack ombinations Stacks are vertical window combinations (horizontal joins) where opposite sides (both side jambs) of individual windows are fastened to the building structure. Determining Design Wind Load Performance Proper combination design in conformance with local wind load requirements is vital to the success of your project. To make sure a combination is safe and that it complies with local building codes, the combination design wind load performance capacity must be determined. orrectly determining this performance capacity involves the following three steps: Two basic configurations are used in combination designs; 1-way configurations or 2-way configurations. 1-Way STEP 1 Determine uilding ode Requirement Make sure that you have the proper local codes and have identified specified compliance values. This calculated value () will be used to determine if the combination will be ac cept able (STEP 3). STEP 2 2-Way Ribbon ombination Stack ombination Determine Product Performance ompare product Performance Grade Rating data to the local building code () requirement. This will show whether the individual units in a com bi na tion design are acceptable. Performance Grade Ratings replaces Design Pressure Ratings for measuring product performance. See page 11 for further information. Multiple Ribbon/Stack ombination 2-way combinations exist when multiple vertical stacks and horizontal ribbons are joined together. Unlike 1-way combinations, the opposite ends/sides (head and sill, or both side jambs) of individual units are not necessarily fastened directly to the building structure. 2-way combinations are joined with both vertical and horizontal joining material and may require reinforced joining materials depending on the local building code requirement for design wind load (measured in pounds per square foot, ). STEP 3 Determine ombination Performance This step helps determine whether a given product, size, configuration and joining material type will meet the local building code design wind load requirement. To determine what joining material type to use (wood, clips,, steel or aluminum), compare the local building code design wind load requirement to the Design Wind Load Table value for a particular joining material on the following pages oastal Product Guide Page 1 of 1

2 ndersen Joining Materials and Installation ccessories For a successful installation, designed to provide the required design pressure, it is important that ndersen joining materials and installation accessories be specified by a project architect or contractor. ndersen offers several types of joining materials. Each creates a joining system that maintains the look of ndersen products. hoose the type appropriate for your combination design. The addition of joining materials will affect the overall rough opening dimension. Read and follow instruction guides in their entirety. Instruction guides are available from your ndersen supplier or by visiting andersenwindows.com. omponents used with each joining system will vary depending on products being joined. heck with your ndersen supplier for more information. ndersen Exterior Trim Strips - variety of trim strips for finishing the join between joined products are available in colors to match ndersen windows and doors. ndersen Interior Wood asing - vailable in several wood types, pre-finished options, sizes and style options including laminated arch casings, decorative plinth and key blocks. Reinforced Joining Materials Materials vary depending on wind load requirements. The structural performance of any combination is only as high as the lowest structural performance rating of any individual window or material in the combination. Reinforced joining materials are used to create product alignment, positive joining and load transfer between the ndersen windows and doors and the rough opening. They provide added strength capable of withstanding a variety of wind load pressures. See joining instructions for specific joining and anchoring components. Laminated Veneer Lumber () Joining - joining material is available for -Series windows and patio doors and 400 Series windows. oth x 3 4 (19) and x 3 4 (19) are available and include an aluminum exterior trim retainer. materials are available in a variety of lengths up to 10'. Steel Joining - Steel joining material is available for 400 Series windows in 8' (2445), 9'-6 and 12'-6 (3810) lengths. Treated for corrosion resistance, the 4 (102) width material provides strength and rigidity. djacent windows attach to the steel joining with screws provided in the kit. luminum Joining - luminum joining material is available for 400 Series windows in 6' (1831) and 7'-8 (2337) lengths. High-quality aluminum provides increased stiffness and is anodized for corrosion resistance. luminum joining stays within the basic jamb of the window so interior casing can be used without extension jambs. djacent windows attach to aluminum joining with screws provided in the kit. Non-Reinforced Joining Materials Materials vary depending on type of windows being joined and wind load requirements. Narrow joining materials are used to create alignment and positive joining between windows. Joining materials are not connected to the rough opening structure. Joining material is contained within the basic jambs so ndersen interior casing can be applied without the use of extension jambs. See joining instructions for specific joining and anchoring components. 1-Way lip Joining -Series: asement, wning, Double-Hung, Picture, Transom and Specialty Windows verage djacent Window Dimension ( + ) 2 = 10' ( + ) 2 = 9' ( + ) 2 = 9' ( + ) 2 = ( + ) 2 = ( + ) 2 = ( + ) 2 = ( + ) 2 = ( + ) 2 = ( + ) 2 = ( + ) 2 = 5'-0 (1524) ( + ) 2 = 4'-6 (1372) ( + ) 2 = 4'-0 (1219) ( + ) 2 = 3'-6 (1067) ( + ) 2 = 3'-0 (914) ( + ) 2 = 2'-6 (762) ( + ) 2 = 2'-0 (610) ( + ) 2 = 1'-6 (457) = (length of join) Structural performance of any combination is only as high as the lowest structural performance of any individual unit or joining material in the combination. ndersen products must be installed and anchored properly according to joining and installation guides to meet rated structural performance.

11 PRODUT PERFORMNE Performance Standards The Window and Door Manufacturers ssociation (WDM), The merican rchitectural Manufacturers ssociation (M) and the anadian Standards ssociation (S) have jointly released M/WDM/S 101/I.S.2/440-08; North merican Fenestration Standard/ Specification for Windows, Doors and Skylights, which calls for using Performance Grade as the new rating to describe products that comply to the standard. This new version dated -08 has been adopted by the 2009 International uilding ode (I) and the International Residential ode (IR). Performance Grade ratings are being used to replace Design Pressure Ratings as the preferred method of measuring product performance throughout the window, door and skylight industry to define products that comply with all of the requirements of the 101/I.S.2/440 standard. product only achieves a Performance Grade or PG rating if that product complies with not only the structural loading requirement, but all other performance requirements such as air infiltration resistance, water penetration resistance, ease of operation and resistance to forced entry. Design Pressure Rating or DP rating will now describe a product rating that has only been tested to structural loading and not air infiltration, water testing or other requirements for Performance Grade. Performance lasses This Standard/Specification defines requirements for four performance classes. The performance classes are designated R, L, W, and W. This classification system provides for several levels of performance. Product selection is always based on the performance requirements of the particular project. Elements of Performance Grade (PG) Designations In order to qualify for a given performance grade (PG), test specimens need to pass all required performance tests for the following, in addition to all required auxiliary (durability) tests (not shown here) for the applicable product type and desired performance class: (a) Operating force (if applicable): minimum and maximum operating force vary by product type and performance class. (b) ir leakage resistance: tested in accordance with STM E283 at a test pressure of The allowable air infiltration for R, L & W is 0.3 cubic feet per minute per square foot of frame (cfm/ft 2 ). (c) Water penetration resistance: tested in accordance with STM E547 with the specified test pressure applied per M/WDM/S 101/I.S.2/ The test consists of four cycles. Each cycle consists of five minutes with pressure applied and one minute with the pressure released, during which the water spray is continuously applied. The water spray shall be uniformly applied at a constant rate of 5.0 U.S. gal/ft 2 hr. d) Uniform load deflection test: tested in accordance with STM E330 for both positive and negative pressure (pressure defined by M/WDM/S 101/I.S.2/440-08) with the load maintained for a period of 60 seconds. fter loads are removed there shall be no more permanent deformation in excess of 0.4% of its span and no damage to the unit which would make it inoperable. Starting with the 2008 specification, design pressure (DP) will only represent the uniform load deflection test. (e) Uniform load structural test: tested in accordance with STM E330 for both positive and negative pressure (pressure defined by M/WDM/S 101/I.S.2/440-08) with the load maintained for a period of 10 seconds. fter loads are removed there shall be no damage to the unit which would make it inoperable. (f) Forced-entry resistance (if applicable): tested in accordance with STM F588 (Windows), F476 (Swinging Doors) and F842 (Sliding Doors) at a performance level 10 rating. Maximum Size Tested (MST) Test size is a factor in determining compliance with this Standard/Specification. Each product type and class has a defined minimum set of requirements. The minimum test size increases with each class (i.e. R, L, W or W). Minimum Requirements The minimum requirements to obtain a Performance Grade (PG) are listed below: Product Performance lass Minimum Performance Grade (PG) () Minimum Design Pressure (DP) () Minimum Structural Test Pressure (STP) () Minimum Water Penetration Test Pressure (WTP) () Windows and Doors R L W W Structural Test Pressure (STP) is 150% of the Performance Grade (PG) for windows and doors. Water Penetration Test Pressure (WTP) is 15% of the Performance Grade (PG) oastal Product Guide Optional Higher Performance Grades (PG) & orresponding Test Pressures () PG20 PG25 PG30 PG35 PG40 PG45 PG50 PG55 PG60 WTP DP STP ir Forced Entry Resistance (FER) is always a performance level 10 regardless of Performance Grade (PG). Minimum and maximum Operating Force varies by product type. Hallmark ertification The Window and Door Manufacturers ssociation (WDM) sponsored Hallmark ertification Program is designed to provide builders, architects, specifiers and consumers with an easily recognizable means of identifying products that have been manufactured in accordance with the appropriate WDM and other referenced performance standards. onformance is determined by periodic in-plant inspections by a third party administrator. The inspections include auditing licensee quality control procedures and processes, and a review to confirm products are manufactured in accordance with the appropriate performance standards. Periodic testing of representative product constructions and components by a third party testing laboratory is also required. When all of the program requirements are met, the licensee is authorized to use the WDM Hallmark registered logo on the ertification Label as a means of identifying products. Products successfully obtaining Hallmark ertification will be labeled with a 3-part code, which includes performance class, performance grade and maximum size tested. elow is a sample certification label: Hallmark ertified STNDRD M/WDM/S 101/I.S.2/ M/WDM/S 101/I.S.2/ STM E / STM E ndersen orporation 400 SERIES SEMENT WINDOW Manufacturer Stipulates onformance as indicated below RTING LSS L (1) PG70 (2) SIZE TESTED in. (3) DP+70/-70 (4) -L70 DP + 70/-70 Wind Zone 4, Missile Level D, Design Pressure 70/70 psf (1) Performance lass (2) Performance Grade (3) Size Tested (4) Design Pressure In the example above, the performance class is L, the performance grade (PG) is 70 and the size tested is 31.5 x What this means to the specifier is, based on the optional higher performance grade chart, the laboratory tested air infiltration was less than 0.3 cfm/ft 2 (test pressure is always 1.57 and the allowable airflow is 0.3 cfm/ft 2 ), the product tested successfully resisted a laboratory water penetration test at a test pressure of 10.5 (test pressure equals 15% of PG), the product tested successfully withstood a laboratory positive and negative structural test at a pressure of 105 (test pressure equals 150% of performance grade) in both the positive and negative directions and the product tested passed the laboratory requirements for operational force and forced entry resistance. ased on this test, all products smaller in both width and height can be labeled with this product performance rating. Important uilding codes prescribe Performance Grade (PG) based on a variety of criteria (i.e. windspeed zone, building height, etc.), therefore structural test pressures should not be used for code compliance. In the example above, a PG 70 performance grade rating, which passes a 70 design pressure, should be used for determining code compliance, not the structural test pressure of 105.
